May only be cosmetics -- Crystal White Pearl is a new color for '08 1/2

The madza.ca website lists a Speed3 2008.5. There's a post somewhere on here that had a list of differences. From what I remember they were mostly cosmetic: Some new colours, the seats are a different colour, and the HU can play MP3 discs.

Instead of brushed aluminum interior trim on the 08 the 08.5 has a shiny black material. Other than that the two different colors. If you have silver it is an 08. Silver isnt available any more. It is metro gray and crystal while pearl.

That is right, the seats in the 08 have gray inserts down the middle. THe 08.5 is all black. I like the 08 seats better.

- Seats in GT are leather/alcantara in the 08.5s instead of leather/cloth for 08s
- 08.5s have piano black trim pieces in the interior
- 08.5s have white gauge needles instead of red

- 08 colors are Red, Black, Silver, Cosmic blue 08.5 colors are Red, Black, Metro Gray, White
